PREORDER Woolly Mammoth | STEM & Sensory Discovery Kit

from $3.50

Travel back to the Ice Age, where woolly mammoths roam, prehistoric mysteries wait to be uncovered, and even the biggest creatures need a little bath time!

Inspired by How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth, written by Michelle Robinson and illustrated by Kate Hindley, and Trapped in the Tar Pit, written by Jessica Stremer and illustrated by Alexander Vidal, this hands-on sensory kit brings together imaginative storytelling, prehistoric science, and playful discovery.

Little explorers can care for their very own hand sewn felt woolly mammoth created by Chealsea at The Creative Explorer, through pretend bath-time routines. Then step into the role of a paleontologist with all of the tiny tools, including two minis by Cureighted Co. to uncover the fascinating world these prehistoric giants once inhabited. From creating icy landscapes and excavating fossils to comparing woolly mammoth and elephant DNA through pretend play, each experience encourages curiosity about prehistoric life and the scientific discoveries that help us understand the past.

With three handcrafted sensory mixes, four specialty mini mixes, miniature scientific tools, and an accompanying digital STEM activity resource (Included on the physical product via QR code) featuring prehistoric animal discoveries and hands-on investigations, this kit invites children to explore the Ice Age through imaginative play, sensory exploration, and real-world science connections.
